INSANITY AND CRIME.
An Interesting Paper Read Before til
Medical Congress Yesterday.


WASHINGTON, September 9th.-Most of the
sections of the Medical Congress had their 6nal
meetings to-day. In the Psychological Section,
DR.. W. W. GOdding, Superintendent of the St.
Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane, read a
paper on =" Insanity Defense for Crime
He said that insanity is mental manifestation
Of bodily disease, and it is not question of
knowledge OF right and wrong.
The position of the Courts to-day on this ques-
ton, the doctor said, most fairly represented
by Judge Cox in the Guiteau case-that jury
must decide whether the accused, at the time
of committing the act knew the difference be-
tween right and wrong, in respect ofthe act" The
trouble was that Judges have made only meta
physical study of insanity. He predicted that
the New Hampshire rulings as to insanity,
which Judge Cox rejected as judicial heresy,
would one day prevail. These rulings were that
all questions of insanity were facts for the jury
to determine, and not rulings for Court.
He further predicted the abolition OF the
knowledge of right and wrong test, as applied
to insanity, and that law and medicine would
unite in this test-the question as fact for the
jury to decide, viz: Did the criminal act result
from the INSANITY of the defendant? ~

Florence Irwin, the variety actress, was pub
lished to-day. 1t did not appear as marriage
notices ordinarily do, but was among the per-
sonals and read this way: ITO those whom it
may concern: l am the lawful wife of Thomas
F. Grady. Mrs. Thomas F. Grady, better known
Twenty-fifth street" Just when the marriage
bells rung for this silver-tongued orator is
matter of conjecture, as neither he nor the bride
seemed inclined to give much information about
It. Mrs. Grady went SO far as to admit that it
was a secret marriage and that she had not
talked much about ii because she was Protest
ant and Mr.. Grady was Catholic, and that its
avowal might tend to injure Mr.. Grady's polit-
ical prospects. few days ago Mrs. Grady re-
ceived an offer to travel with Boston company.
She was anxious to accept it, and her husband
did not object. She said her husband was quite
willing to have her return to the stage.

CHICAGO, September 9th.-The Times says :
Railroad lawyers are discussing the point
whether the recent decision by Justice Field,
concurred In by his associates, in the case ofthe
Pacific Railway Commission VS.. Senator Stan
ford, does not equally apply to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Both are Boards
created by Congress- and in the case of the lat
ter Judicial powers are expressly denied, even
if Congress had the power TO confer such author
ity. This being The case, it is held that the
Interstate Commission cannot compel the at
tendance of witnesses nor require them to testify
beyond that which they voluntarily choose to
tell. Neither can it administer nor is It's inter
probation of the Act of any more value than that
of other citizens.
